The much-anticipated heavyweight clash is back on. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will face off on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, with all four major heavyweight titles on the line.
Originally scheduled for February, the bout was postponed for three months due to a training camp injury sustained by Fury. Now, both camps have arrived in the Middle East, ready to determine the world’s best heavyweight.
Fight week began with high tensions when Tyson Fury’s father, “Big” John Fury, head-butted a member of Usyk’s team, resulting in a visibly bloodied forehead for John Fury. Despite the incident, the member of Usyk’s team remained composed, and tensions have since simmered. However, the fighters have been intensely focused on each other all week. The weigh-ins on Friday saw further escalation, with Fury pressing his forehead into Usyk’s, leading to a shove and a forced separation of the teams.
